Handcraft Inspiration
Do It Yourself
Some of the fun things I have made. You may like to try them out too. A wide variety of projects, many making use of materials that are recycled or on hand.
The bedside table made from books and vinyl records made a quirky addition to our guest room. Using bleach to reverse-print on a coloured T-shirt, as well as tie-bleaching another was surprisingly satisfying.
The all-time top hit on the website still is the safety-pin earrings, and I regularly wear the earrings I made myself out of egg boxes too!
